CET is built specifically for the construction industry. The scenarios reflect the kinds of decisions professionals encounter around procurement, bids, change orders, vendor relationships, gifts, project costs, quality, and client expectations.
Why it matters: learners do not have to translate generic corporate ethics concepts into construction situations—they see the issues in a context they already understand.
Realistic, Acted-Out Scenes

Realistic, Acted-Out Scenes
CET shows the situation unfolding and escalating through realistic construction-based interactions. Participants see the people, conversations, pressures, competing interests, and consequences surrounding a decision.
Why it matters: this makes ethically difficult situations easier to recognize, understand, and remember when similar circumstances arise on a real project.
Judgement Focused
Realistic, Acted-Out Scenes
Judgement Focused
CET is not built around fear-based messaging or simple rule memorization. The program is designed to help participants recognize ethical risk, consider the pressures surrounding a decision, and think through how they should respond.
Why it matters: Bad ethical choices rarely begin as obvious misconduct. Strong judgment helps professionals recognize when a situation is crossing the line.
CET Training Module Descriptions
Program Opening
An overview of why ethics matter in construction and what's at stake when ethical standards aren't upheld.
Bid / Award Integrity
Participants explore the real-world pressures surrounding competitive bids and learn to recognize conduct that crosses legal and ethical lines.
Change Order Integrity
Change Order Integrity
This module examines how change order abuse occurs, how to recognize it, and how to handle change order situations with transparency and fairness.
Kickbacks
Change Order Integrity

Bribery
